Abstract
We describe 3 patients in whom the onset of systemic scleroderma occurred shortly after ionizing irradiation for nasopharyngeal or breast carcinoma. This relationship has been described rarely as has the exacerbation of a preexisting scleroderma after irradiation. This gives indications for direction of studies.
